So smooth..as always with Richard
But also the car! 206 is probably my favorite WRC-car, especially with 2003 look. Gronholm, Panizzi and Burns as drivers...pure class.

I remember Richard as a team member with Tommi Mäkinen with Mitsubishi. Looking at his achievements during the first years I thought that he’d never be close to top. But what happened, one year he was world championship. I think this is a good lesson not to condemn a driver by the first achievements.

I remember Richard in Rally GB about 1997 2998 when he smashed CMR on a foggy stage with a couple of minutes. What a driver he was. Driving exactly after his pacenotes.

Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

very solid driver...the only driver who could challenge the fins on their home turf... was a great fan of his and along with Kankkunen was one of the reasons i got passionate about rallying.
